Earlier in the year I had loads of frog spawn so much you could hardly put a pin between it, When it was frosty at night I put a fleece across the pond to protect it, the pond also has a net over to stop birds eating it. Now I have nothing not a single tadpole anyone have any idea why, so disappointed.

I have put in a pond and have edged it with stones pleased with the effect but can anyone give me some ideas of plants I can put in to soften the stones. It is shaded for quite a bit of the day. Thanks
